Older people partnership board
One in five people living in Salford is 60 years old or more (census 2001) and it is vital that the right services, in the right place and at the right time, are available for older people.
In 2001 the Government published the National Service Framework for Older People which sets out how health and social care services for older people should be provided.
Well being is important to all of us and, working with older people, the NHS, voluntary and private sectors, we have produced Growing older in Salford - a strategy for well being which sets out the key building blocks that will help older people achieve and maintain control in their own lives. The building blocks are
- Tackling ageism
- Information and access
- Involvement
- Inclusion
- Measuring progress together
